I say model shmodel. The zodiac and all that astrology stuff is your
model and you, the astrologer are the linking mechanism. I suppose then
to 'discover the real nature of the linking mechanism' is to discover
the real nature of yourself. Isn't that what astrology is all about?

I have another question. Is it really important to professional
astrologers to be recognized by the 'Scientific Community'?
